Games Global launches Fishin’ Madness QUADGROWS with expanding reel mechanic

Games Global has expanded its fishing-themed portfolio with the launch of Fishin’ Madness™ QUADGROWS™, a new online slot developed by exclusive partner Posh Monkey Studios.

The release combines the familiar fisherman collect format with the studio’s new QUADGROWS™ mechanic, which gradually expands the game’s reel set and unlocks increased winning potential as players progress.

Fishin’ Madness QUADGROWS begins on a 5×3 grid, but can grow to seven rows during play. Each progression level introduces additional paylines, larger Fish Instant Prizes and improved Collect Multipliers, creating a sense of advancement as players move deeper beneath the waves.

The Fisherman Collect mechanic sits at the centre of the gameplay. Whenever the Fisherman symbol lands on the fifth reel, it collects the values attached to all visible Fish Instant Prize symbols.

As more rows are unlocked through the QUADGROWS feature, additional Collect Multipliers become available, potentially increasing the value of each successful catch.

Landing three or more Scatter symbols awards eight Free Spins, during which larger multipliers can provide enhanced prize opportunities. Players who land five Scatters receive the game’s maximum prize of 10,000x the original stake.

Fishin’ Madness QUADGROWS also includes Posh Spins™, Posh Monkey Studios’ proprietary optional bonus feature, which increases the likelihood of triggering the Free Spins round.

Connor Blinman, Co-Founder of Posh Monkey Studios, said: “Fishing games continue to resonate with players, but standing out in such an established genre means delivering something genuinely different.

“The QUADGROWS™ mechanic creates a real sense of progression throughout the player journey, with every milestone unlocking bigger opportunities and adding another layer of excitement to the experience.”

Dave Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy and Partner Management at Games Global, added: “Posh Monkey Studios has taken a proven formula and introduced an engaging progression system that gives players a reason to keep coming back.

“Fishin’ Madness™ QUADGROWS™ is another example of how Games Global and its exclusive studios continue to evolve popular mechanics through creative gameplay innovation. We’re excited about the roadmap ahead for Posh Monkey Studios’ and the fresh ideas they’ll be bringing to the table.”

Fishin’ Madness QUADGROWS is now available through Games Global’s operator network.
